sons superhero Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Should be said that as well as the big "they've gotta vote First Division" article from McLeish... I wonder who might chair the reconstruction committee, btw?... there's also an article in today's Scotsman suggesting tomorrow's vote may be cancelled as too many clubs are in opposition. Has that claim appearred anywhere else? Can SFL Board even do that? Do the clubs not vote for adjournment, the board could propose it.

sjc Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You can split the camps into two: 1. People who put money into Scottish football - the club chairmen/owners and us, the fans. I do not include the commercail sponsors because they are only funding something that they are getting a return from, their is nothing altruistic in their actions and they have no loyalty. 2. People who take money out of Scottish football - the 'pundits', players, managers, administrators, newpaper publishers and 'journalists' - self interest is their motivating factor. Whilst I recognise the club chairmen and owners are under a great deal of pressure I am convinced, if left to their own devices, they would do the right thing. I believe they understand the sporting integrity issue and agree with it. The view of the overwhelming majority of the fans is well known. So the people who take money out of the game are trying to dictate to the people who put money into the game, then criticise and belittle them when they won't dance to their tune. Agreed.....We really do need to rid our game of these parasites. For too long the tail has wagged the dog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensburgh Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 there's also an article in today's Scotsman suggesting tomorrow's vote may be cancelled as too many clubs are in opposition. Has that claim appearred anywhere else? Can SFL Board even do that? and wait untill enough chairmen toe the SPL/SFA party line? why not? everything is possible to bring about their vision.

pozbaird Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 oh shame I missed that, what about the Pandas in Edinburgh zoo will they not do. Saw a news report this morning saying that the Edinburgh Zoo penguins are getting a new state-of-the-art enclosure built. The report also showed new born penguin chicks... awwwww! Those penguins are just brilliant. They used to be the zoo's star attraction... Until those pesky pandas turned up. What did the penguins do? They stood at the edge of their enclosure and shat on the people below, who were queuing up to see the pandas. Mon' the penguins! The zoo had to build a perspex canopy to shield visitors from incoming penguin shit. Superb! Then what happens? The male panda has two days a year to get his hole... bombs out. He did everything - did a handstand and pissed up the wall, saying 'Well hello there sweetie... Now, gie's ma' hole. Nothing. Meanwhile over in the penguin enclosure... pengiuns shagging like Russell Brand, cute penguin chicks everywhere, visitors desert the pandas... Penguins are No 1 game in town again. Brilliant. Now - what the fcuk does this have to do with Sevco Works XI I hear you ask. Bear with me... Consider the pandas as the Old Firm, consider the penguins as us diddy teams. Consider the people queuing up to worship at the pandas feet as the succulent lamb red top brigade. Consider Edinburgh Zoo as the SPL...They have their two 'main attractions' - they get the biggest crowds, they attract sponsors, TV companies fall over themselves to report the pandas story. The zoo is happy. They do everything to give the pandas special treatment. New enclosure, everything they want, they get. The people lap it up. Panda shirts are seen worn by kids in provincial towns. Panda hats, panda mugs, panda-monium.... Meanwhile, the penguins are being ignored. No-one cares much though, the pandas are box office. Then the pandas fcuk up. No baby pandas. The penguins start to shit on the heads of the people below them....the dynamic changes. Mon' the penguins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Buddie Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 So who else thinks that tomorrow the SFL clubs will vote Yes to elect Sevco to the SFL, No to allow the SFL board to decide what league they start in (meaning it is Div 3 for them) and then on Monday the SPL chairman will shat their pants and on Monday vote Sevco straight back into the top flight? Hopefully me thinking that outcome is likely is merely a side-effect of reading too many orcmedia threads... Sevco in the SPL would be a hoot. They've no team to speak of, no money to buy decent quality players. That might actually be a more entertaining punishment than anything we've seen so far. I think they'd get whupped just about every week. We need a campaign to get them in the SPL, 'mon lads, get onto your Chairmen right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the people who take money out of the game are trying to dictate to the people who put money into the game, then criticise and belittle them when they won't dance to their tune. Excellent way to view who is who, and their motivations. Of course club owners/chairmen fall into 2 camps those who put money in (the vast majority) and those who take money out like David Murray and others of that ilk. The elephant in the room not mentioned are the agents. They do self interest in spades. A couple of them appear on the Rangers creditors list (check the amounts! ) and then there is Willie McKay. The agent with long established good professional working relationships with Walter, Ally, Souness and D Murray. A couple of years ago agents took around £20million out of Scottish clubs. I would happily pay wee Chic a few grand to organise a football match against the agents, as long as he is playing and is in killer mode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
